Note : Singalila is a high altitude park. Some visitors may need acclimatization. Rain is never predictable. It is a hilly region. We advise you to carry medicines those having motion sickness. Accommodation on twin sharing in basic but clean and comfortable tea houses along the trek route. Though the 4X4 land rovers will follow the group walking is required. This is not easy going tour like other places. Electricity is available at extra charges at tea houses. One night no electricity and common toilets.
